    c. $31,900

    Explanation:

    Depreciation in itself is used to determine how much value a fixed asset loses per year over its useful life. Straight line depreciation method incorporates all costs incurred to get the fixed asset ready for use, it also considers the salvage value at the end of the project life.

    Depreciation = (Cost of equipment - Salvage) / useful life

    Cost of equipment = price of equipment + shipping cost + installation cost

    Cost of equipment = 160,000 + 2,000 + 12,500 = 174,500

    Salvage value = 15,000

    Useful life = 5 years

    Therefore, depreciation = (174,500 - 15,000) / 5

    Depreciation = 159,500/5

    = $31,900
